04Is DreamHost worth the money?
DreamHost is worth considering if the listed website, traffic and storage allowances fit your needs and you can pay annually upfront. The introductory rates are low, and the three plans give small sites room to grow. The catch is the renewal jump: Launch rises from €2.89 to €10.99 per month, with higher renewals on Growth and Scale. Email is only included for three months, and optional tools add per-site costs.
